How about I'm an atheist because of my objectivity. Also, having the national anthem play every night is trending toward state-controlled media and nationalism. I'm definitely against that.
USA #1
Being Atheists does not automatically make you "objective" in the world of true journalism. It's not some magic inoculation for being TRULY unbiased.. It's just say's "I'm Athiest...and nothing more. Just another "opinion."
I hope your not claiming to be a journalist of some type.
I will let you have the last word.

Seriously???
What on earth can be wrong with the national anthem?
This is America...
Love it...or leave it.
Enjoy Labor day...and lets all pray for those in the path of Dorian.

They're scrappy, but it's an endearing effort and I think they're making good use of the resources they have.
I hear they will be increasing the number of live reports...

Unfortunately, they picked the worst LPTV to be on. They have the worst signal, and it looks like it's all leased out. A channel can be down for weeks before they'll do something about it. In the case of Newsnet, the volume is turned down so low you can barely hear anything.
Don't you know you NEVER tell a man with an ugly dog...that his dog is ugly.
Yes it's bush, rough and unpolished, but it's not trying to be anything but a startup all news operation, that has to start somewhere.
I'm totally rooting for these kids and every single crappy cheap Chinese tv transmitters they occupy. These guys KNOW what a budget is because they don't have one....
They trade aluminum cans for satellite time...
They eat Cheerios out of ziplock bags that mom packs for them...She still has to cut up their meat into little squares, and trim the crust off the bread...
They all get naps...
...and I bet the news director can't even buy cigarettes or a dirty mag until he turns 18.
Besides,
It's fun to watch!
At least some still get an allowance for doing the chores.

Here is a cool little story about a guy who worked at QTV in Queensland , and hid a bunch of news archive film from his bosses so it wouldn't get thrown in the trash...

The before and after of the changes of the video wall set for in studio interviews and weather forecasts.
In addition to changing the video panels to a solid screen they added two dark blue panels to the top and bottom on the right side.
I think the combination pool / ice rink is a nice added touch to the set.
Those Disney folks sure know forward thinking set design.
Beats the hell out of that CBS News Roomba.

I don’t know. Black could just be from lack of content being played and but the panel could still be on. But I’ve only seen it a handful of times in pictures.
Just depends on the monitor/tv manufacture. Some default to blue...some to green and some to black when signal is not present.
Funny monitor story...
In the mid to late 1990's CNN Atlanta was slowly replacing the original CRT monitors in the newsrooms, edit bays and control rooms. As engineers and contractors replaced the sets, many of the old ones ended up stacked in corners, hallways and break rooms. As you can guess...some of those monitors "walked away" and found new homes as video game monitors, extra tv's for kids rooms or grandmas house...
It was not unusal to find some low paid CNN VJ or production type watching an old Sony monitor...with "CNN" burned into the CRT in the lower right corner of the screen.
(For you youngsters...CNN was not as graphic intense back then....but the yellow/orange CNN bug was always there, so the image would "burn in" the screen after being always on screen year after year.)

This type of concept has been used sporadically in recent months in I-Team segments, using more visually-interesting ways to display things like statistics and such. Even with a dedicated person on staff, I'm curious how that would be effectively translated into general storytelling.
It's wonderful if you have the time, money and resources to do all this on a daily basis.
Most stations don't, and won't.
The TV News formula is now pushing data from one platform to another with minimal cost, liability and embarrassment.
And what about all that re-training?
Give me a big budget for that animation team and all those nice expensive graphics crunchers, make sure you staff the weekends too...
It's nice if your station group is willing to make a long term commitment...but I'm not getting my hopes up.

Remember that WCBS 880 is no longer part of the same company as WCBS TV. CBS sold the radio division to Entercom about 2 years ago. Sharing on air personalities is not longer a given and would require contracts. Entercom is licensing the call letters and contracted with CBS News to provide news updates (with a name change to differentiate). It used to be that most TV and radio stations used one or two traffic suppliers like the former Shadow Traffic and then Total Traffic. The supplier used to provide the talent so there were backups. Clearly with CBS, that model has changed and its no longer a priority.
And remember that traffic reports are usually barter situations...
A company like Total Traffic provides the people and infrastructure to provide the reports to the station in exchange for ad inventory that the traffic service sells at whatever rate they can get.
Unless WCBS TV creates it's own in house traffic department...then they won't really be able to compete with just a lone "traffic anchor".
Plenty of other sources for the same traffic and transit info like the live 511 services popping up all over the country,

KOFY just ended their 9pm LIVE produced newscast from KGO with a short farewell. They announced that they will continue to air their rebroadcasts of ABC 7 News at 7pm and 11:30pm
Looks like KRON will now dominate the 9pm slot.
How many of you remember when KOFY had it's very own news department?
We reach into the great "Vault 'O Newz".....
This is probably the only remaining artifact of that short lived news operation...which is housed at the KBEX-TV Museum of News and other Crap.

Maybe the hit was non-sponsored and the producer took the time back for other news.
Are the shows even sold out right now?

I find this kind of odd.
Madison's ABC station WKOW is launching a midday broadcast at 11am, starting this Monday. Here's the odd part, the newscast will be 15 minutes at length. At 11:15am, it will air a 15-minute local lifestyle program called Midday Madison.
Wouldn't it been wise to at least have these both shows a half-hour at length each? We know Millionaire (which is moving from 11 to 11:30am) is going away in the fall. Since it's airing repeats, they could've moved the show to an overnight slot until the end of the run.
They probably want to start out small and see what the reaction is from the local businesses that will be courted for ads, and to sponsor segments.
You can always expand the (lifestyle) show if it takes off....and knock the news back to 5 minutes at the top of the show.
It's all about selling the lifestyle portion of the show.

A good part of the "Sam Demo" also spends weekends in Miami, Bahamas, Hamptons etc...
Frolicking in the surf...and hitting the clubs at night.
(don't make me dig out more speedo pics)
Certainly NOT unusual behavior of a New Yorker by any means.
I'm sure plenty of Sam's regular viewers say to themselves...
" I wonder if we will see Sam this weekend at..."
...TWIST, Back Door Miami, Azucar NightClub, Jamboree Lounge, Palace Bar, SheLife Events, Club Boi, The Hub at the LGBT Visitor Center, Beach Betty's Bar, J's Bar ....
...and any one of those clubs would love to be able to claim Sam as a "regular" because that brings in more guest...and that "Sam Demo" has plenty of disposable income to party with.
WABC and Sam would be total fools NOT to exploit that in some fashion as there are plenty of New Yorkers in SoFla most the year.

wow just logged on and seen this. and before i left the station earlier today that was the rumor going on. Also our EP said maybe she'll go to KGTV since supposedly Virginia Cha contract is almost up. but then again what do i know lol lets wait and see what happens in the next few days/weeks
I wonder why she didn't get a big send-off like Carlos got...
And WTF is going on with Ruberti she looks like she is just ghost posting on twitter and FB just to preserve her brand.
I think it looks kinda sad.
Big purges like this can only mean one or two things...
Could we be coming to "that point"....where the big guy gets dementia...and JR. starts making the daily decisions including.......

I highly doubt today's Scripps will want anything to do with a highly-paid, older anchor. Sad but true.
Well you don't have to be mean about it.
She may be a bit older...but she can still plow a good sized field, carry 10 sacks of corn flour, and still pull a wagon to the mill.
And the viewers still like her.

Sinclair's decision to have Crain axed from WICS/WICD was a bad idea, and basically opens them up to a wrongful termination lawsuit. This is the same group that laid off a reporter who was undergoing cancer treatment, so it tells you that they don't necessarily treat their employees that well all the time.
Let's all understand something about TV...
When you go on the air and trash your employer, it's policies or practices ...EXPECT a bad outcome.
You may not agree, but they sign your paycheck.
If viewers want to revolt that's fine.
But, don't expect some judge to entertain a wrongful termination suit based on publicly trashing your employer, while on their dime, and using their toys.
And you wonder why stations won't let most on-air employees say "good bye" when the contract ends?
I wish him luck...but if you come on my TV station and trash my station or programs you can expect to see the door...and maybe a boot up your ass.
...and once you pull some stunt like that , the station management of other stations won't trust you on-air...no matter how popular you were at you last gig.
